Strange but true; I was telling my girlfriend I wanted to paint another skull. 15 minutes later I get a e-mail for a commission for a skull painting. Serendipity at it's finest.


toned with red

simple sketch

color throw down

All covered and the major shapes loosely in place time for
smaller and smaller shapes till finish

this is were I wanted to leave it and call it done but the client
didn't want the feathered top with those fancy brushstrokes.

finished, client happy I happy.

So much better than a after dinner mint, this little painting will keep you cool and satisfied.

Waves at Playa Del Ray
4" x 4"
gouache on paper

Slept in a bit this morning but managed to get up run some errands and make stop at Playa Del Ray. Also did this gouache sketch all before noon.  I have been thinking about selling my gouache stuff at my DailyPaintworks Gallery but still haven't decided on how much I will charge or if there would be a interest. Guess I will find out as soon as I start posting them.

It seems fitting to have a skull post on October 1st. It is skull month is it not?

 Recently I decided to try and paint a small painting everyday and then only post the most fruitful ones to sell. As somewhat of a experiment I am trying auctioning some of these and am giving dailypaintworks a go and see what happens.

 I got the perfect seat  at a picnic table and worked on this great little scene. I already want to come back tomorrow at the same time and do it in oil. I was trying some new paper with this as well. I have some canson moonstone paper.
